Shipping from Iran to Tokyo, Japan via Mersin: Real Transit Times

Due to the current unstable situation at Iran’s traditional ports, HAPCO now ships via alternative routes — Mersin, Turkey and Poti, Georgia — rather than Bandar Abbas. Here’s the real picture for Japan-bound cargo.

Shipping Time from Iran to Tokyo: The Real Breakdown

  • Via Mersin: 60-70 days total, door-to-door — the faster option
  • Via Poti: 70-80 days total, door-to-door

Japan is one of our longer Asian routes, reflecting the distance involved — we plan accordingly rather than promising a faster timeline than the route actually supports.

The Route: Iran → Mersin/Poti → Tokyo

Cargo is trucked from Iran to Mersin, Turkey or Poti, Georgia, then by sea toward the greater Tokyo Bay area, typically routing through major Asian transshipment hubs given the distance involved.

Planning for a Longer Timeline

Given the current 60-80 day window, this route suits planned, scheduled shipments rather than time-critical cargo. We build this into every quote so there are no surprises once your shipment is underway.

FCL Focus

As with our other routes, FCL shipping — 20ft and 40ft HQ containers — is where we focus for Japan-bound cargo.

Part of Our Asia Network

Japan is one of several Asian destinations we currently ship to — see our full Asia shipping guide for a comparison across other markets, including neighboring South Korea.
